PowerDown plug thing

[Moh]

A few months ago, we got this PowerDown plug thing.
What it does is turn off all the other stuff once the power is lost to the main socket.
This is useful for me due to me having loads of things I have to turn off manually.

On the box though, it says:
Not suitable for laptops.

Any one know why its not suitable for laptops?

So basically you have a 4way socket :eusa_eh:

3 way
Master Socket
2 Extension sockets.

I just don't know why its not suitable for laptops? Is the power level different?

No I don't see why it's not suitable.

Probably because a laptop has to charge it self, they think you still want it to charge? :S

Well, its not suitable for my laptop cos the batteries dead.

Maybe, because it doesn't switch off the laptop.
